Chatuchak may well be Bangkok's “Park District” with all its open green space. While it may appear to be one big park, the area north of the old weekend market is actually three different parks, each with its own character.

The original Chatuchak Park is one of Bangkok's oldest public parks, although it only opened in 1980. Like the two adjoining parks that came later, the land was donated by the State Railway, and there's a small rail museum near the north end of the park.
In August of 2012, part of what had been a parking lot for the weekend market was being transformed into a new market called “JJ Green”. With a number of food options available, this market seems targeted at those looking for a night bazaar atmosphere. It is open every day until well into the evening.
